Title: Cladding system with expressed joint
Inventor: SOUTHWELL DARREN
IPC: F16S1/02
Filed: 2009-12-04
Granted: 2015-03-12
Abstract: A cladding system based on a specially configured base sheet (1) profiled to provide a ship lap expressed joint (6) with an adjacent sheet, which is ideal for use with relatively low-build brushable or rollable texture coatings. The ship lap expressed joint (6) includes within the visible portion of the joint between the outer surfaces of the base sheets, an interface line (8) defined by an inner overlapping edge (9) of one of the base sheets, whereby the interface line (8) is set in from the outer surface of the base sheets. This arrangement enables coated walls, and in particular texture coated masonry look walls, to be created at a much lower cost and using less skilled operators, as it obviates the need to set and finish the joints between adjacent sheets and the problems associated with that process.

Inventor: BILLOET VINCENT
IPC: A61K9/50
Filed: 2011-06-07
Granted: 2015-04-09
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an oral dosage form based on microgranules and/or microtablets to reduce the abusive use of at least one active principle contained therein. The aim of the invention is to prevent the diversion of an oral dosage form based on microgranules and/or microtablets containing at least one active principle capable of causing a dependency, a gelling agent, and a gelling activator. The gelling agent and the activator are only brought into contact with each other in the event of diversion by crushing. Said judiciously selected pair of excipients confers a viscosity to the formulation, such that said formulation cannot be administered by injection or does not release the active principle rapidly by forming a gel when it comes into contact with the mucous membrane if nasally administered.
